Thukydides Posted July 26, 2021 Share #721 Posted July 26, 2021 It looks awesome Derek. Also as a new entrant to the hobby the log is really helpful in breaking down some of the many challenges that are faced in completing a project like this.

Thanks, that's good of you to say so, but please bear in mind that I like putting my own stamp on kits. I hope I haven't given the impression that you need lathes and milling machines and so forth to enjoy this hobby. With good suppliers like Vanguard you can produce excellent models straight out of the box without using expensive tools and special techniques and materials. Like many people, I started out following plans and instructions, and only started 'kit bashing' as my interest grew and I gradually built up my toolkit and knowledge. Anyway, in MSW you've found a great source of information and advice on all aspects of the hobby. Have fun - and consider starting your own build log.

BobG Posted August 10, 2021 Share #725 Posted August 10, 2021 I've been looking over your log again, Derek, before I start to build the Flirt. What a magnificent model you made! I hope I can do half as well on the Flirt. DelF 1 Quote Bob Garcia "Measure once, cuss twice!"
